Zhu Longguang was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi in 1939 and graduated from high school and was admitted to the performance department of Lanzhou Academy of Arts. He is a tall man of 1.83 meters, and he is also handsome, participating in many drama performances in the academy and playing roles in movies.
Zhu Longguang, who was well-known and well-known, was selected by the Railway Soldiers' Literary and Labor Corps. So for the first time, Zhu Longguang, dressed in material clothes and riding a sleeper train, came to the Beijing of his dreams. Zhu Longguang, who put on a military uniform and became an actor, can be described as a teenager, but it may not be a good thing to use on him to verify it. At the beginning, Zhu Longguang vowed to perform well and do a career, and it did not take long to be rated as a member of the "Five Good" Clerical Corps. Who knew that the matter was contrary to wishes, and at that time, the Railway Corps Cultural and Labor Corps did not have a cadre establishment, and upon hearing about this, the young and vigorous Zhu Longguang ran to the leader to blow his beard and stare, and he was noisy and noisy. The matter reached an unmanageable point, and Zhu Longguang was mobilized to demobilize and stop paying Zhu Longguang's salary. It took several times to report his problems to his superiors that they had to be resolved. In 1961, a paper order transferred Zhu Longguang to the People's Liberation Army Engineering Corps.
After four years of experience, Zhu Longguang finally waited for an important turning point in his life. In 1964, according to the requirements of the superior leaders, the Bayi Factory filmed the teaching film "Tunnel Warfare", with the purpose of allowing ordinary people to learn some basic military knowledge. Although it is a military teaching film, it is easier to make a feature film, so the burden falls on director Ren Xudong, who is good at shooting feature films. The choice of the male protagonist of the film made Ren Xudong hurt his brain, either too quiet, or not handsome and tall enough. The left and right selection finally Zhu Longguang entered his sight, several examinations, auditions, and finally shot By Zhu Longguang, who did not have much screen experience, played Gao Chuanbao.
At this time, Zhu Longguang had become particularly mature and stable, and he knew that the tall and handsome appearance of the image alone was far from enough to complete the role of Gao Chuanbao. He came to the countryside with the crew to experience life, not only helping his fellow villagers to do farm work during the day, but also visiting the militia heroes of that year at night. He has forged a deep friendship with the local people and has also done solid homework for shaping Gao Chuanbao.
When the film began, in order to be closer to life and more realistic. The actors all live in the homes of ordinary people, and Zhu Longguang is no exception, he cleaned up the pigsty of a family, and built a door panel on it, even if he "settled down" here. Not only is life hard and unpaid, but the actors themselves have to pay food stamps. The authentic shooting location in the film is very narrow, and Zhu Longguang, who is tall and tall, has to cat his waist every day, leaning over, and his back is sore and painful after a scene. In order to show the heroic nature of the militia and the real camera effect, Gao Chuanbao wanted to jump from a tree more than two meters high to chase the Japanese devil, at that time, there was no substitute, no protective measures, only some grass mats were laid on the ground, and he jumped and broke a leg. Zhu Longguang completed the rest of the shooting tasks with steel nails.
After the release of the film, it was an era of lack of cultural life, and people rushed to the theater to watch this movie of fighting devils. Zhu Longguang has also become a household name and a big star. Sometimes when people recognize them on the road, they call Zhu Longguang directly: "Old Gao! Old high"! It makes him answer no, and he doesn't answer either. There is a more interesting thing, once Zhu Longguang went to eat at the West Singles Garden Restaurant, sitting behind him, one of them had just lost love, and the other girl asked with concern: "What are you looking for this time?" The girl said without hesitation: "I want Gao Chuanbao in "Tunnel War"!" Zhu Longguang couldn't laugh when he heard this.
It is precisely because the spirit of the older generation of filmmakers can fight and dare to break through that this classic war film that the common people like to see, "Tunnel War". Together with zhu Longguang's "gao chuanbao" can be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
